In the 39th match of IPL 2021, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Mumbai Indians in Dubai on Sunday. RCB defeated MI by two wickets, the last time these two teams this season. 

Bangalore Skipper Virat Kohli looked good in the last match against Chennai, where he scored a fifty with a no-look out of the stadium six. Padikkal, too, has been in a good form for a while. However, AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell need to fire real soon to strengthen the batting lineup as well as RCB's chances of winning the trophy.

Harshal Patel has been a consistent wicketkeeper this season for RCB. Hasaranga has been wicketless till now, but he has a great promise and can fire any time. Chahal also would be looking to regain his form.

Mumbai Indians' batting has been struggling apart from the opening pair - Quinton de Kock & Rohit Sharma. The middle-order - Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Sourabh Tiwary need to show some consistency to keep the batting strong. 

Mumbai pace attack can be termed as one of the best in this IPL - Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah & Adam Milne. The spin attack in the form of Rahul Chahar & Krunal Pandya can be the game-changer. 

The five-time IPL champion has dominated the franchise with no titles so far. The two teams have played 28 matches in IPL in which MI has won 17 times and lost 11. 

RCB v MI Head-to-Head(H2H):
